The announcement was swiftly followed by a statement appearing on Rachel’s official webpage saying, ‘We’re so happy that baby has arrived safely. Within minutes of meeting her we were totally smitten. Amelie is happy and ‘cited to have a little sister to play with and we can’t wait to introduce her to the whole family.’

They are yet to name their daughter, but confirmed that she weighed 7lb 7oz.

It was only a week ago that Rachel had shared a picture of her bump on her website blog, saying, ‘I'm starting to nest as it's not long to go now but thank you for your lovely messages and support. We're really excited to meet bump when he/she arrives!’
